If I understand correctly, you need an operator that buffers events until no event occurs for a certain period of time, then repeats all the buffered events. I would try this:

Set this new operator to the Observable prototype:

function bufferedDebounceTime(time) {
    return Observable.create(subscriber => {
        let buffer = [];
        return this.do(x => buffer.push(x))
            .debounceTime(time)
            .flatMap(() => buffer)
            .do(() => buffer = [])
            .subscribe(
                value => subscriber.next(value),
                err => subscriber.error(err),
                () => subscriber.complete()
            );
    });
}

Observable.prototype.bufferedDebounceTime = bufferedDebounceTime;

Then use it as an operator:

yourSourceObservable.bufferedDebounceTime(1000).subscribe(...)

EDIT

bufferTime indeed acts like an interval forever so it's not recommended. As Jørgen Tvedt Commented, debounceTime + buffer it is what you are looking for.

However, because this is a very useful operator. I created My custom one that Makes everything much easier, I called it bufferDebounce

I made it as a OperatorFunction in Typescript to force type inference along the pipeline:

type BufferDebounce = <T>(debounce: number) => OperatorFunction<T, T[]>;

const bufferDebounce: BufferDebounce = debounce => source =>
  new Observable(observer => 
    source.pipe(buffer(source.pipe(debounceTime(debounce)))).subscribe({
      next(x) {
        observer.next(x);
      },
      error(err) {
        observer.error(err);
      },
      complete() {
        observer.complete();
      },
  })
);

PREVIOUS ANSWER

With RXJS 6+ you can do this very easily.

As ZahiC mentioned, the answer is with buffers, but specifically you can do all of that with bufferTime How to use bufferTime

So wherever your source is (as observable), you can:

    // This will capture all responses, and return it in an Array every 2 secs
    const example = source.pipe(bufferTime(2000));

buffer and debunceTime can be used together to achieve this goal. Check out this article:
